Studying In Mexico Was The Best Experience I've Ever Had!

When I came home from my 5 weeks studying abroad, I literally felt like a new person. I realized how much I grew in the time away. I was nervous to go, but afterwards I wished I went for an entire year. I also learned so much of the language. Prior to the trip, I could not understand half of what the teacher would say in my coll...

Quanajuato: I Will Call You Home Again One Day

Guanajuato, Mexico; A Summer Of Spanish

My experience was very worthwhile. I still talk with the friends I made. After I finished I was so sad I was leaving that I wanted to extend my time there. My experience has changed my future in that I would like to live abroad and I realize how important it is to experience something else and to go explore.

Complaints Of Guanajuato: None

After studying abroad, I felt like I should have been in Mexico most of my life. I felt like I belonged to the culture more than my own. I was healthy, happy, and wouldn't have changed my experiences for anything. Hopefully I am able to go back to Guanajuato often for vacation if not for a job at some point. The one regret that ...

Lifechanging Guanajuato

Absolutely worthwhile. I improved my Spanish, got to see and understand a different culture and different way of life altogether. Studying abroad changed my outlook towards life in other countries, and if I'm able, I would like to live somewhere other than the United States, somewhere slower-paced like Guanajuato. I would pro...

(No Title)

I really enjoyed my time abroad. Some of my best experiences came from after the program ended however - I stayed for an extra couple weeks to try to live on my own. I would highly recommend doing so, as it gives you the opportunity to use what you learned from the program and apply it to getting by without much assistance.
